 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Gather up the pots and the old tin can 
The mash, the corn, the barley and the bran 
Run like the devil from the excise man 
Keep the smoke from rising Barney 

Keep your eyes well peeled today 
The big, tall men are on their way 
Searching for the mountain tay 
In the hills of Connemara 

Mountain breezes as they blow 
Hear their echo in the glen below 
The gombeen men are on the go 
In the hills of Connemara 

A gallon for the butcher, a quart for Tom 
A bottle for poor old Father John 
To help his prayers and hymns along 
In the hills of Connemara 

Stand your ground boys, it's too late 
The excise men are at the gate 
Glory be to God, but they're drinking it straight 
In the hills of Connemara 

Swing to the left and swing to the right 
The excise men will dance all night 
Drinking up the tay till the broad daylight 
In the hills of Connemara
